Organ transplantation has come a long way in the last three decades. What was once considered an extraordinary and risky treatment is now widely accepted as the standard and most cost effective treatment for renal failure over the long term. As the number of people seeking transplant has increased, so have the number of health care centers offering this treatment modality.
But, not all kidney or pancreas transplant centers are created equal. If you are thinking about kidney or pancreas transplantation, choosing a quality transplant center is the first and most important decision you will make. This special issue of Transplant News can help you in that process by presenting the essential elements of a premier transplant center and defining the qualities by which all transplant centers can be measured.
The members of the transplant team are people with whom you will build a relationship that will extend for years. Whether you are considering a kidney transplant, waiting for an organ or helping to care for a loved one with renal failure, you should be confident in the transplant center and the people with whom you are entrusting your life.
